EVA ANTICIPATION GUIDE UNIT 3

2) Children’s behavior is based more on genetics than their surroundings- nature vs. nurture. Children’s behaviour is not based more on genetic that their surroundings. I believe this because genetics may pass on looks, but it doesn’t pass on character. I think this because being a kid at school, and talking to kids,teachers,parent,etc. Really helps you build your character, you might be strong and fierce, or you might be shallow and mellow. And talking with your family also helps a lot,for example when your parents help you solve a problem, they might give you ideas and support you on being a better kid!

 3) It’s not difficult for children to make friends with children who are very different than themselves. It is not difficult for children to make friends with children who are very different than themselves. This is true, since kids tend to become friends with people that know some things that they don’t, for example they’ve lived in a different country, their family is very big,ect. This is true and I know it because I go to an International School, and every time a new kid from a different country comes, everyone is very interested in talking to them, since they are new and the other country they were in was very different. Also, hanging around with kids from your country is fun, but, the problem is that if you live there for a long time( both the people) that you have probably tried all the games you could think of, and the new kid could have new ideas.

 4) Children who have troubled homes will always have problems when they grow up. Children who have troubled homes will NOT always have problems growing up.” I truly believe that kids who have troubled homes can be helped and put on the right path in their life. Because, firstly it really depends on the situation that you are in. For example, if your mom and dad are alcoholics then you might be influenced to do the same thing, but with good counseling ( IF you go to a good school) then you would be fine.So, it is kind of 50% 50% percent.

 5) Sometimes it’s fun to do bad things even if people might be hurt in the process. It is not sometimes it’s fun to do bad things even if people might be hurt in the process. First of all, because you shouldn’t do bad things at all! Second of all, people getting hurt is very dangerous. For example, if you are doing something bad like stealing something, then a person might get hit and then they would get in tons of trouble, even more than the others. Also, it depends on how bad the injury is, the level of the bad thing you are doing.

 6) People should feel bad about things which are not their fault. I think that people shouldn’t feel bad about things which are not their fault. I think this because many people take blame of death of a close person, or a tragedy, and blame it on themselves,even though they had nothing to do with it. This sometimes happens when you think that you made that person upset, or made them do the think that got them dead or in severe injuries. For example, if a person asks their mom to go to supermarket, or maybe go to a place, and while the person goes there it get hits by a car, the person think that- if I would’nt invite that person they wouldn’t of gotten hit by a car! But in reality, it is not their fault, it is the driver of that car’s fault. Our brains just automatically blame us, even if we didn’t do anything wrong.

 7) Children have the ability to make changes, help others in need, and even change lives. OF COURSE! Children have a great ability to make changes, help others in need,and even change lives. This is very true. In our days, kids in schools and communities have started to get more and more in helping everybody in need. For example,CAS,the Pay It Forward Club,ect. And even though some thing like CAS is needed to get good grades, many kids to it because they love to help people. I believe that lots of the help that went to Haiti, also came from kids, and even doing small things like helping clean up parks can make a difference for 1 person. The good thing about kids is that they won’t care if they helped 200 people or maybe just 2. They care that they did something, maybe even changing only one life at at a time.
